I have 2 login accounts on my Macbook Pro.

One for the admin account, and a secondary account which I use for watching Video content and listening to music. My secondary account has my iTunes library connected to an external hard drive with almost 350 GB of music.

The problem I have is that all my address contacts and apps are saved on my admin account which my iPhone is synced to, however, the music I would like to add to my iPhone now is found on a different login account. I am unable to transfer music from this account because it is already synced to the admin account.

This would not be so much of an issue, if not for the fact that sound check for my iTunes library on the secondary account took a good few hours, and I really don't have the patience to add it all to the iTunes library on my admin account, as I use that on a regular basis, and would like to keep it as streamlined as possible.

The sync issue is what is confusing me. How does it work? By sync-ing my iPhone to the secondary login account, transferring music, and then sync-ing it again to my admin account, will I lose my transferred music?
